Arev 3.111 using LH_VERFIY takes more than 4 hrs to check tables. Other sites using the same set-up (below) and file count and file size can complete within an hour. What are we missing?

Server

Installed the Linear Hash service from Advanced Revelation 1.5

Created a REVPARAM file in all directories of Arev containing SERVERONLY=TRUE

All Arev files have the ownership of ADMIN

No screen saver on the server.

Service Pack 4

Protocols

TCP/IP

Note - there is a DLC protocol on server. Used for printing only - not stacked above TCP/IP

Files

AREV.EXE is not read only.

No virus checking on OV files.

Arev

Using /x/m4096 parameters with the Arev command

QUICKDEXS are removed on system files

EDIT DOS REVBOOT and change 020 to 000 to remove cache

Workstation

FILES=250 in CONFIG.SYS or CONFIG.NT

Allocated 4096K of expanded (EMS) memory

Windows swap file is not on the network

Windows 95 workstations are using Service Pack 1 and/or Service Pack 2

Not using FAST-INDEX or FAST-START from Microsoft Office

Removed all unused applications for STARTUP

Using a PIF which enables background tasks

Entered a frame type under network properties, do not run on 'Auto'

Disabled "Power Save (green)"

You might try creating a local volume (I use C:\AREVLOC) and create

a LISTS file and a SYSTEMP file on that volume and have it attached

last in your LOGIN. Also, set your SWAP path to be that directory.

Run this on the SERVER (using the C:\AREVLOC, although if you can, set the AREVLOC directory up on a different disk than AREV is located)

In the MISC tab of the shortcut, move the IDLE SENSITIVITY to LOW.

Take out the /m4096, put AUTO into the shortcut MEMORY-EMS selection and NONE into XMS; auto everywhere else. Leave the /X in. This may give you 8 or even 16MB of expanded memory in AREV.

Make sure everyone else is logged out of AREV.

I would guess that your 4 hours should shrink by more than half - maybe to 1 hour or less. Please let me know if any of this helps.

I forgot to mention. You might want to consider an upgrade to 3.12 as 3.111 has a SELECT bug. Check with Aaron Kaplan.
